Unless Jesus wasn’t truly fully human, He would have a Y-chromosome, as well as an X. Those two chromosomes are of the forty-six we have in every cell in our bodies, if I recall biology correctly. As for Jesus’ conception, there’s really nothing we know about it, including about His DNA and if it came from Joseph and/or Mary or not. To say otherwise is only speculation about something the Lord hasn’t revealed. Genesis does speak of the seed of Eve, but seed in the Bible carries the meaning of offspring, which would seemingly be how it it used in the same place in Genesis when the Lord is addressing the snake, whom Revelation tells us is Satan. We don’t what it means that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, and we know God can create from nothing and appear from nowhere, so we can’t know how Jesus was conceived in Mary’s womb except that it all went completely according to God’s eternal plan, for His purposes.

I think the truest thing you said, was "We don't know." For instance, we don't know if Jesus had a Y-chromosome. That's how we define chromosomal maleness. but that might not be the only way.

We do know He was true God and true and perfect Man, that God is His true Father, source of His incomprehensible Divinity, and Mary is His true mother, source of His glorious pure humanity.

And that's all we know. Beyond that there is a veil of mystery.
